Women’s Golf 2007-2008 Wrap-Up

The University of the Cumberlands Women’s Golf team fought to improve on their game from the fall season under first year Head Coach Chris Kraftick.

The ladies opened spring season play at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. As a team they finished 2 nd out of four teams with freshman Kayla Peace (Williamsburg, KY) taking second place individually. Four days later, on March 26 th the Patriots looked to keep their heads up and battle with Tennessee Wesleyan. Unfortunately, they came in last place, but not before Peace again garnered a Top 5 finish. She scored a 172 which gave her 3 rd place.

With a couple days to rest, the Patriot ladies moved on to host their annual University of the Cumberlands Spring Invitational at Crooked Creek Golf course in London, Kentucky. Struggling to establish consistency in play Cumberlands placed 7 th out of the eight teams. Individually, Peace once again placed in a familiar category, the top five. She scored 84 giving her 5 th place at home. Peace went on to capture 5 th place at the Bluegrass Spring Classic in Georgetown, Kentucky. Also, during the season, Peace earned Mid-South Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week honors.

Hoping to end the season on good terms, the Patriots entered the Region XI tournament in Campbellsville, Kentucky. The Patriot ladies came in 6 th place with freshman Kayla Peace placing in the Top 20 with a score of 179.

The ladies will lose senior Shannon Schottelkotte (Greenfield, OH) and Emily Sturgill (Pineville, KY) to graduation, but are looking forward to what the 2009 season brings. Regrouping, rebuilding, and returning veterans will look to provide leadership for Coach Kraftick’s second year to be a success on the green.
